The developers of FiberShop announced its new 2.0 and 2.1 version releases.
FiberShop is a standalone software for creating 2D and 3D hairs in real-time, that allows creating any number of blocks, modifying them separately by adding new modifiers to each block and moving them in 2D space. FiberShop calculates the ambient occlusion in real-time progressive mode directly from 3D meshes and the result is physically based.
For advanced purposes, you can simply transfer the FiberShop scene into any other software and render engine that supports the FBX file format. The software includes:
- 2D Textures (10 different passes in 4k)
- 3D Fiber Mesh
- 3D UV-Ready Hair-Cards
- 3D Matched Camera
- Direction pass as vertex color (as poly paint in ZBrush) on the 3D Fiber Mesh
- ID pass as vertex color (alpha channel) on the 3D Fiber Mesh
